Mainnet (Preview) - v1.14.16

on GitHub

This is a preview Mainnet release. It is not recommended for use on Mainnet Beta.

The recent v1.14 performance problem is still being investigated (see #debug-disk-io-catchup-issue on Discord), but this release resolves it by disabling the accounts disk index by default (equivalent to passing --disable-accounts-disk-index in previous releases).

For nodes with <=256GB of RAM we recommend running accounts on disk (not tmpfs) and preferably not on the same disk as the ledger.
